Groundnut butter

1 Roast the shelled nuts until light brown. (Remove the skin of one to test the colour)

2 Sift and cool nuts. Remove skin. Grind very finely either on a clean grinding stone or in a grinding machine.

3 Add salt and mix well with a spoon. Put in a jar and cover tightly. Store in a cool place.

Groundnut butter may be used as a filling for sandwiches; it may also be spread on slices of bread. It is very good for children because of its high food value. If the paste is to be used for soups or stews, omit salt.

Bon appetite!
